Students admitted to the SFAD Certificate Program who later choose to complete a graduate seminary degree must successfully complete the admission process. Any credit completed at the certficate rate that a student wishes to apply to the masters degree must be "bought up". The student will be charged a lump sum, which is the difference between the amount paid for those credits and the tuition that would be charged for those credits at the tuition rate in effect for the student's first semester as an admitted Masters student. Buy-up costs are not eligible to be covered by financial aid. Payment of the difference in tuition is due when billed or according to payment arrangements established by the Student Financial Services office.

These students are considered Special Students by the university and have some restrictions on the amount and type of courses that may be taken while a special student. Registration as a special student first requires the completion of a basic application. This application should also be used by students who plan to enter a degree/certificate program at a later time but would like to take classes before being formally admitted to that degree/certificate program. All other students should refer to the Office of Admissions for more information on the application process.

Conferring your degree may take up to six weeks after your final grades are posted. Many students need to have their degree conferred before this usual timeline for licensing purposes. We encourage you to contact your professors to see if they can input your grades as soon as possible. While you are waiting for your grades to be submitted you may order an official transcript to be processed after your degree is conferred. Following through on this earlier will keep you from having to pay the rushed transcript fee. Once you can view your grades in Bruindata, submit an expedited degree conferral request form with a $25 payment to the Registrar's office. This will guarantee your degree will be conferred by the end of the next business day.

Graduation announcements can be ordered online through Jostens.
